How are $s represented in cost data. #17

The standard units of measure doesn't include dollar amounts. I don't understand how we defined $ in our costs. Should we say that if the cost includes a year, then the $ are for that year? Should we say every cost needs to have a year, and costs are always to that year? I like that the best. Can we add a 'costs' section to the wiki however we do it?

Hi--To be consistent, all costs should be in 2009 year and expressed as $/acre for all the items we are tracking. For example, in each cell for each crop and region it should be $ land rent/acre for 2009. The reason why I say 2009 is because all of Santiago's budget are in 2009.
